Nice work - OpenOffice 1.1 under WINE

[Steven Edwards]

Hello,
I have just compleated a full install of OO 1.1 under WINE. No outsite
packages are required to install and configure OpenOffice for Win32
under Wine. There are a few minor bugs with some of the strings in
menus but I would rate it at 99%. If anyone is interested in a good
hobby project a Winelib port of this would be nice to see.

With a little luck we may be able to have this running for WineConf
under ReactOS.

Thanks
Steven

Is this in NT or Win9x mode? If the later, did you have to manually do 
anything regarding unicows?

It is in the default mode. I just installed WINE from CVS on my
slackware server and used the sample .config in the documentation
directory. I dont know what mode WINE defaults too as the Winver option
is commented out in my .config.

I made no changes to WINE to get OpenOffice 1.1 to install. The only
problem I had was with the programs .exe themselves (And this may have
been my fault). I upgraded a existing OO install I had copyed over the
network to my linux box. This didnt work so I had to reinstall OO from
the ZIP file on the website. It renamed the existing soffice.exe to
soffice.old. I could not run any of the other *.exe in the OO
directory. Once I renamed the program back to soffice.exe I was able to
load the writter and the spreadsheet componates with little trouble. I
didnt use tools/wineinstall to compile so I got a ton of warrnings
about missing OLE and COM stuff from winedefault.reg but once I loaded
the registry it functioned at 99% perfection.

Thanks
Steven

Yes, but before we can attempt that, we need MinGW support in
OO, and AFAIK, that's not supported just yet. Does anyone know
of any (current) effort to remedy that?

There is nothing on the website regarding the Mingw port except that
they are looking for people. I have CC'd the Sun contact regarding this
on the email.

Hello Martin! Is there any news on the Mingw port of OpenOffice? I have
just run 1.1 under WINE and it runs nearly perfectly. We are interested
in the Mingw as we would like to recompile it for Winelib.

Thanks
Steven
